Chief Justice of India BR Gavai on Wednesday said he would “look into” the stray dog issue after a petition seeking regular sterilisation and vaccination was mentioned before his court. The remarks come amid widespread protests over the Supreme Court’s recent directive ordering civic bodies in Delhi-NCR to round up all stray dogs within eight weeks and send them to shelters. Animal welfare groups argue the order violates Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, which mandate sterilised and vaccinated dogs be returned to their original locations. Protests erupted in Delhi, with dozens detained, as activists condemned the ruling as “inhumane.” (PC: India Today)
